FPL 2022/23: Which £8.0m midfielder has the best numbers?

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers have seven viable £8.0m midfielders to consider for 2022/23, with options limited beneath that price rung.

As a result, starting with at least one of these players is appealing, but which of them is best for our Gameweek 1 squads?

We investigate in this latest Premium Members article.


GOAL THREAT

Mins per penalty box touchMins per shotMins per shot in the boxMins per shot on target
Diaz10.825.435.774.2
Foden15.237.746.797.6
Kulusevski17.649.564.4143
Maddison31.934.680.375.4
Mahrez11.825.635.567.8
Mount16.531.1549.885.4
Saka13.630.941.796.8

From the seven candidates, Riyad Mahrez has generally posed the bigger goal threat, registering a shot in the box every 35.5 minutes.

However, there isn’t a great deal separating the Algerian and Luis Diaz, who actually trumps Mahrez for minutes per shot (25.4 v 25.6), albeit by a small margin.

Elsewhere, while the majority of James Maddison’s efforts arrived from range, over 75% of Diaz’s attempts have come from inside the opposition box, which is captured on the graphic below.

Mahrez16.186.639312
Mount15.655.641239.1
Saka27.3103.444333.4

Mahrez once again leads the pack when it comes to chances created, but it was Phil Foden who carved out better quality opportunities for his teammates (195.1 v 312).

Mason Mount’s crossing stats impress, having been very prominent at set-piece situations in 2021/22: he took 90 corners for Chelsea last season, with 29 successful deliveries.

Meanwhile, Dejan Kulusevski‘s 17.6 minutes per cross is also worth noting, given that he and Diaz were the only £8.0m midfielders not to take corners for their respective sides. However, 183.8 minutes per successful cross tells us the Swede’s accuracy was often off.

    Anyone remember how Chilwell and James did in Lampard's 4231?

    I remember them doing well...

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Chilly was the one to have if I remember correctly

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Yeah, you know what you get with Chilwell. He gets forwards. Tuchel said it's not in his game to play a more defensive role.

        But I can see James' versatility being a problem at times. He may be asked to play a deeper or narrow role whenever the system needs it...

    2. Stamford B
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Chilly tops the James for me by a whisker. Both most awesome though and as Tuchel said and I quote “By eck those two aren’t arf good aren’t de”. By that he meant he sees them as more attacking players than defensive which bodes well does it not. Chilwell though has suffered big time in the ozzy and only time will tell if he comes back the same as he once was.

        Under-appreciated comment, take an upvote lad.

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Pre season will help but Chilwell is deadly if he can stay fit

    4. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Has Tuchel said he is playing a back 4?

      1. Stamford B
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        I’d be amazeballs if he did

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Me too. Hope you are well Timbo - your "fetch my bag" anecdote is still referred to often on Nirvana 😆

          1. Stamford B
            • 2 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            😆

            1. Stamford B
              • 2 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              I’m well thanks mate. Hope you are too. I’ve finished work early and been down the pub so am a little worse for wear. I’ll chat wham for a bit then fall asleep

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        He said he's open to it. But don't think anything is confirmed.

        But I think Chilwell and James would still be great options in a back 4. Just trying to remember the Lampard era to have as a benchmark.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Gotta depend on how many senior centre backs he goes into the season with.

    5. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Both are excellent options so can't really go wrong but one thing about them is that James continues to get better. He may go up yet another level this season.

    Good afternoon all!!! Current draft.. quite like this!!! Thoughts welcomed!!!

    Raya
    TAA Cancelo Doherty Burn
    Salah Diaz Bruno G Neto
    Kane Vardy
    Subs 4.0 Walker 4.5 4.5

    Cheers everyone!!!

    1. TheBiffas

      Burn isn't nailed. Get botman

        Ah is he not, good call mate!!! Thankyou !!!

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Can't really look past no Man City attack but nice otherwise.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Yeah Kane could be Haaland mate, Diaz could be Foden too, two options

    3. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I like the vardy punt. Not sure about having both walker and Doherty. One would do me. Especially when you've little other cover on the bench. Good luck anyway

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Thanks mate!!! Yeah must admit having both of them I might look to change, that 5.5 Brighton striker I could get by downgrading one of them, give some more flexibility

    4. KieranKA
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I don't mind the Vardy punt in theory, but he's 1.5 more expensive than Jesus. If you downgraded him to Jesus you could (for example) upgrade Walker to James and Doherty to Perisic which is hard to resist for me

  3. WVA
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    I think 4-4-2 is the best way to start the season. Most value in defence, most points in midfield, one up top just doesn't work.

    Ramsdale - (should be the top scoring GK up to 5m, cover's Arsenal def and Leno may be leaving so could have a 4m backup)
    TAA Cancelo James/Chilwell - close to essential
    Salah - close to essential
    Haaland - close to essential Jesus - good for structure

    Last season has shown us how good Spurs attack is so I'm going with Kulusevski as my 8m mid to start with. I'm hoping Doherty nails down his spot as I think he's better value than Perisic at 5m.

    Last two midfield spots are up for grabs but hoping one of BrunoG or Neto become this season's Bowen.

    Two great subs emerging in Neco and Andreas too which helps with 442.

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James Perisic
    Salah Kulusevski BrunoG Neto
    Haaland Jesus
    Turner Andreas Neco Greenwood

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Looks solid based on what we know at the moment. I'd be surprised if 1 up front is the final template too, but a lot can happen in a month.

      1. LangerznMash
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Jesus being underpriced at £8.0m is the only reason 1 up front won't be template.

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          There's another month for other reasons to emerge, or for Jesus to get injured 😉

    2. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      3 from TAA, Robbo, Diaz + Salah = essential
      3 from City essential
      All the £8.0m players are good.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Yeah Kulu likely to become Diaz

    3. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Good team. As you say, most points will be in midfield again this season. Don't reckon Haaland is essential at all. He should do very well at city but reckon at best he might get about 215 points. Robbo could get 200 for 4.5m less. Think you'll want that money back the field in time. Best of luck

  4. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Diaz or Foden?

    Have Cancelo, TAA, Salah and Haaland.

    1. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Did you not read the article?

    2. Stamford B
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      It matters not what you have but what you do with that you have not. If you want to be beautiful then make beautiful choices.
      It’s Diaz.

    3. Crusher K-1
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Between the two I would go Diaz

    4. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Diaz at the moment

    5. EugeMurts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Diaz

  5. Stamford B
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Is an underpriced kak player value for money or is he still kak?

    1. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      You can't polish a.....

  6. Stamford B
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    If an underpriced kak player got no fpl returns in the woods would nobody know if they didn’t hear it and stuff?

  7. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    The City triple up - who are folk looking to for their third City spot? Assuming Halland and Cancelo take the first 2 spots (for most teams anyway) I am assuming the third spot goes to anyone of the following:

    Dias
    Laporte
    Edersen
    Foden
    Mahrez
    Jack

    (not included KDB in that list purely because most will have Salah)

    1. polis
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Issue being points for those guys will likely be shared. Not to mention Gundo & Bernardo taking even more off the latter three (assuming they stay of course.)

      You'd probably want to go the most nailed but I think a couple of the 5m defenders might get pretty close to Laporte & Dias. Similar situation with Ederson and a 4.5m.

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Agree re the latter 3. Diaz or Laporte are tempting as a double up with Cancelo, but it would need to be at the expense of James/Chilwell or Perisic

    2. Stamford B
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I’ve only got Cancelo at the moment. I am probly doing it wrong.

      1. polis
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        There's some Norwegian bloke they signed who has a pretty tasty goal record. Apparently.

        1. Stamford B
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          I heard he ripped it up in Austria.

      2. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Well if you've only got one he's the one to have

    3. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years

      Just the obvious 2 for me I think

    4. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Foden

    5. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      It's a toss up between Ederson and Laporte atm

  8. keefy59

    Apologies if already mentioned but
    Sky Sports FF now open

    1. lugs
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      yep, just made my team, its tough this year, so many options i want but not enough money, i like the changes moving the likes of Son, Salah etc back to midfield, it means more variety, also the increase in transfers to 50 with just 1 overhaul is good too 🙂

    2. ksmith5666
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      As is the Telegraph game, although that one is tough, they have re-classified most attacking mids into fwd's for this season! take a look at the Pool midfield options:(

  9. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Best option up to 7 m to start season
    A Martinelli
    B Coutinho
    C Anyone better between 6 and 7 m?

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Bruno G

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Thanks- need to see how Newcastle line up as may be playing deeper this season but yes could be a decent option

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Trossard if he gets minutes is one to watch. Not spectacular but there's potential...

    3. polis
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Worth keeping an eye on Odegaard, Barnes and whisper it, Rashford.

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Very interested to see how Rashford does in preseason under Ten Hag. He could be an absolute steel.

    4. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      A

  10. Our Tiny Windows
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    1) James, Mahrez, Salah, Haaland
    or
    2) Van Dijk, Son, DeBruyne, Jesus

    1. Stamford B
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      No Mahrez lad, you don’t know if he’ll start.

  11. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Is Lloris worth 5.5? Would prefer Ederson or Allison but wouldn’t want to give up a City/Pool spot for a keeper.

    1. polis
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I don't think so, no. Shame he isn't 5.

      But then I guess everyone has him.

    2. Stamford B
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I’d never spend more than 5 on a keeper and even then you’d have to twist my arm. There’s no real value in spending money there.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I dont think so tbh. He should be somewhere between Ederson and, say, Pope price-wise, seems to have been rounded up. Would prob save the 0.5 (or even 1m) if not going for Ederson/Allison

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Mendy?

    5. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      If Conte keeps it up we'll be saying the same about lloris. Their defenders could be super value this season.

    6. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Has to be Mendy for me, too good to ignore at 5m and it keeps your Liverpool and City options open

  12. R.C
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Need some big news to break the template

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Boris signs for Utd?

  13. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Why do people think Jesus is underpriced at 8? He is by no means a prolific goalscorer and that was in a City team that dominated every game, if anything his pressing up front will benefit the wide forwards like Saka and Martinelli/ESR much more in terms of an fpl impact

    1. Stamford B
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I agree. He a good asset and will improve Saka. I don’t rate him as a player though. Wouldn’t buy him myself.

    2. polis
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Feels like he's never been fully backed on entrusted with a proper run of games. Could easily play an additional 500-900 mins this season to his previous highest total, brought in to be their main man.

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Agreed. Don't think he's some 'steal' at 8m. He just looks a much better option than the other forwards because he's actually priced correctly...

    4. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Its a very predictable bandwagon given his profile and the price, and its one that I am on currently but could be easily tempted to jump off if the likes of Watkins, Wilson etc have a good pre-season

  14. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Foden or Grealish? Grealish scored vs. Westh Ham in their last game.

    1. polis
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      That's pretty strange logic for suggesting Grealish, no?

      1. Bobby Digital

        "bare in mind"

        Get Salah

          Haha no messing around there then.

          Thanks for that

              On a serious note going no Salah is usually to spread funds around but if you've got Son then that's just 1m less than Salah for a worse option not on penalties with less of a history and track record of scoring big as Salah. Points wise they ended up close last year but if you look at minutes played Salah did a lot less

                Totally agree but who do I loose to accommodate son for salah. Means no spurs cover with there fixtures as well.

                    Alisson to 4.5 maybe? Salah worth more as a captain than the difference between a good 4.5 and alisson

            Looks nice.
            You know the risks of no Salah but an early WC can solve that or 2 FT's.
            Dont know if id have Alisson though, blocks that 3rd Liv spot.

              I never usually have a 5.5 keeper but he scored similar points to Virgil and is 1 million cheaper

            Just my opinion but I don't think you are gaining much going without. You would need Son to match him... be could? But history dictates it's unlikely.

          Hi all,

          Thoughts on this draft? Struggling for inspiration despite all the activity on here lately!

          Would love a way to get Robbo in without compromising Mendy, TAA, Cancelo, Diaz, Son, Jesus or Haaland if anyone can see a good option?

          Mendy
          Chilwell | TAA | Cancelo | Perisic
          Diaz | Bruno Guimaraes | Son | Neto
          Jesus | Haaland

          4m GK | Tomiyasu | Andreas P. | Greenwood

          1 year, 8 months ago

          A bit of a differential draft. Thoughts?

          Henderson
          Trent, Romero, Tierney, Justin
          Salah, Maddison, Martinelli
          Kane, Vardy, Jesus
          (Caballero, Aït-Nouri, Lavia, Andreas)

          1. 112kane112
            • 5 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            I wouldn't look to start the season with so many differentials, but that's my opinion. Maybe 1-2 maximum.

              I'm pretty sure that Nketiah didnt sign new long term contract and given 14 shirt just to sit on the bench. He might even start with Jesus up top in most games against weaker opponents. Tbf he ended the season pretty well.

                People are still underestimating Eddie and don't give him the credit he deserves. They also love to forget he's still only 23 years old and has a whole career ahead of him. He'll learn and improve.

                  I never rated him before to be honest. But he definitely stepped up big time.

            The Premier League club of the footballer arrested on Monday on suspicion of rope was made aware of a rope allegation against the player last autumn, the Guardian understands.

            The player, who is not being named for legal reasons, continued to play in the first team last season.

            *pertinent term not allowed?

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                1 year, 8 months ago

                It's a weird one, it's a strong allegation of course but if an allegation is all it takes for your work to just completely stop you doing your work then that's also a slippery slope

                I don't blame the club in this scenario, assuming it was just one allegation rather than a few in which case they'd be right to stop the player appearing for the club

              Is it worth to spend extra 0.5 to upgrade a 4.5 keeper to 5.0 one? I feel like all the 4.5 keeper options are dreadful

                This is the first season I can remember where I have started the season (or intend to anyway) with a 5m keeper.

                  1 year, 8 months ago

                  I think Raya is a great option, Brentford were absolutely fine before a host of injuries, they then got some of those players returning from injuries and of course signed Eriksen to finish strong

                  With Eriksen gone I see Toney being less of an option but I expect their solidity in defense to be there still, if they get significant injuries again then it's an easy ship out

                  • 13 Years
                  1 year, 8 months ago

                  Raya looks to have a good long run of fixtures. I'd be tempted to go 5.5, Allison or Ederson.

                    rather than 5.0.

                  I think value may be in Ederson as cheap way into City defence

                Wouldn't surprise me a bit if the top scoring MC mid after KDB is BSilva.

                      Not if he stays, you'd imagine he plays the most minutes so by virtue of that he'll be up there anyway compared to a Foden or grealish

                    • 7 Years

                    I just can't see it. Bernardo will be rotated too. He's neither explosive, neither consistent. I think that at least Haaland and Cancelo will outscore him for sure. And Foden, Mahrez, Laporte, Dias could easily do the same.

                    I am monitoring Rashford.

                    There I said it.

                      I think a lot of people are. If he plays front 3 in regularly he’ll be an option at 6.5 regardless of how bad United are

                    2. @persecuted_by_mods
                        1 year, 8 months ago

                        Don't let people here put you off, he had 1 (admittedly incredibly) bad season, the season before that he was on fire and even when he tailed off at the end because of injury he still got consistent attacking returns

                        I think he will turn it around and make a mockery of his price

                          Feel the same way you do. He has been consistent his whole career up until last season. Could be a momentary blip, could be a Dele Alli. Hopefully preseason gives us a hint.

                        As a Utd fan i would love to see Rashford get his mojo back, and i think ETH is the one who can get him motivated again. On my watchlist for sure, at that price he could be the bargain of the season

                        • 4 Years

                        I'm not a United fan but I think the whole team should be monitored. They have players who have been productive in the past. It's reasonable to think that some of them could get back to their previous form. It would be nice to see Rashford get back to around 20 goal involvements. You have to think he's still capable.

                          He's in talks with Barca. Great stuff happening here. Chelsea are trying to gazump United for Frenkie De Jong by offering Alonso, Azpoilicueta and 5 million. Barca might be up for it!

                      After reading this article…

                      Is Mahrez a viable option given the departure of Jesus n possibly Sterling?

                      Yay or Nay?

                        • 4 Years
                        1 year, 8 months ago

                        In 4 years at the club Mahrez has played the following minutes
                        18-19 - 1331
                        19-20 - 1934
                        20-21 - 1945
                        21-22 - 1485

                        You may see a bit of a bump up to as much as 2000 but Pep has had plenty of chances to play him more over the years and hasn't really.

                          Whereas someone like Foden has gone.....
                          17-18 - 45
                          18-19 - 328

                          21-22 - 2125

                          You can see the minutes building steadily. It wouldn't surprise me to see him in the 2500-2700 area this year.
